Reacting to the incident, Ibom Air in a statement issued by its Aniekan Essienette, Group Manager, Marketing and Communication of the circumstances that led to the evacuation of the anti-Tinubu protester, said:

“We wish to inform the public about an incident on our 6 pm flight from Abuja to Lagos on Friday, 31 March 2023

“A passenger stood up and began addressing other passengers in a manner considered inappropriate and unruly, as he was making other passengers nervous.

“Our crew deemed his continuous unruly behavior unsafe and called on airport security to help with the situation. Upon his refusal to stop or disembark peacefully, the security operatives were left with no choice but to forcefully disembark the passenger as a last option.

“We are aware that several videos and reports of this incident are circulating on social media and wish to provide the right perspective.

“Ibom Air wishes to assure our passengers that we maintain very high safety and service standards and will never compromise the safety and security of our passengers.

“We apologize to the affected passengers for the time it took to disembark this passenger, which caused an otherwise on-time departure to be delayed by an hour.”

No further information has been made available by Ibom Air on the circumstances of the anti-Tinubu passenger.
